Event: Worker Co-ops: A Response to Job Loss?

JobsGraveyard is about more than documenting the jobs crisis. It is also about fostering new and creating thinking about how our community can respond in ways that combine economic security, self-sufficiency, and dignity for workers. To that end, we're co-sponsoring the following event with a number of other groups.
